Keep Going

This morning I came across an amazing post from a blog I follow. This
post was so amazing I have to share it. This particular blogs name is
"The Art of Non-Conformity" it consists of spreading tips of life, work,
and travel. Another inspirational goal of the writer is to travel to
every country in the world by 2013 he is currently at 159!

Anyways
this particular post stuck me because of it's subject matter. The
subject being a person who wasn't qualified to do anything but
mediocrity .Coming from a background suitable for less than stellar
jobs, attending and graduating with a degree that provided no jobs, and
not having basic math skills deemed necessary for adult life. This man
has defined the odds of what he was so suppose to become.

I
relate to this post on many levels because much like the writer I have
never been extraordinary at anything I've done. I hold less than
average mathematical skills, and I also hold the current skills deemed
necessary to work a dead-end job. Through a series of failures this last
year I feel now more than ever that I am on a path to where I want to
be. I now see life in a different way, a way that involves living the
life you want and less about what others see for you.

and I quote from actual post:

"Regardless of your actual qualifications, there’s one thing that no one
can give you and no one can take away: the will to keep going. For that
task, you are supremely qualified."

I encourage anyone reading this now to follow the link and read this great post!
